Description: Collapsed overpass connecting Foothill Boulevard and the Golden State Freeway.
Because the earthquake occurred early in the morning, only three deaths resulted from this damage. However, the principal highway link between northern and southern California was temporarily cut, and traffic had to be re-routed for several months. http://libraryphoto.cr.usgs.gov/cgi-bin/show_picture.cgi?ID=ID.%20U.%20S.%20Geological%20Survey%20663
